Is this an ugly color scheme?

KDE keeps adding new settings but still no dynamic workspaces?

Can someone, preferably on Arch, test if x2x is working for them? It's software to control the mouse and keyboard on a different computer. It requires an ssh setup though.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/x2x-git

>>101113368
Are you the anon who was trying to get it working on gnome x11?

>>101113442
Yes, it's still not working and I cannot find anything online. I thought I could rule out a general fault.

I tried this >>101102174, but it's not working. I'm pretty sure that it's not exclusively GNOME related, because it used to work with it just a few days ago and there was no GNOME update. I have looked at the updated packages, but none of the dependencies were updated.

Plasma or Sway?

You did it incorrect, try like this:

>X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

I think GNOME's Xauthority file is irrelevant, no idea why it creates that one. Running "xauth info" on the remote computer I get:

Authority file:       /home/user/.Xauthority
File new:             no
File locked:          no

>>101113640
I think the issue is when ssh -Y spawns it sets its xauthority to ~/.Xauthority instead of the one GDM is using

>>101113640
>>101113702
This is a terrible and insecure way to fix it but you can try running this and then start x2x normally without needing to set any env variables

xhost +SI:localuser:$USER

is there some distro that has everything statically linked
i need to make some portable binaries

>>101113725
qemu-3dfx is probably the most performant solution

>>101113759
you can add the static useflag to gentoo to have binaries statically linked

>>101113759
>everything statically linked
anon, this is linux

>>101113702
I have tried
>xauth -f /run/user/1001/gdm/Xauthority
which apparently sets the Xauthority file to be used, but I'm getting the same
>Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
error. I verified with xauth info that it's indeed using the GDM one and it is.

>>101113753
This works, thanks.
I'm looking into barrier/input-leap as an alternative right now. It seems overly complicated compared to x2x.

>>101113753
How do I remove it again though? I tried
>xhost -SI:localuser:$USER
but after a reboot, it's still appearing in the list.

>To get things back to normal, with controlled access to the X screen:

>>101113925
I have no idea what GDM is doing exactly with how it sets up the Xauthority file and env varr but if you start gnome from the tty instead of through GDM i think it will use regular ~/.Xauthority and solve all of your issues

>>101113925
For the record, the reason why using xhost is insecure is because anyone logged in as your user has access to the x11 server but in your use-case it might not matter that much

>>101114105
>To get things back to normal, with controlled access to the X screen:
This is really weird. I did that, but after a reboot, the user still shows up on the "xhost" output.

$ xhost -

-- reboot --

$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
SI:localuser:user

I have no idea why it's still setting that after a reboot.

>>101114187
Have you checked if running x2x still works after reboot without running xhost?

Suppose I seed something for a long time but then distro hop or reinstall. I want to continue to seed when I'm done. How does one resume a torrent given I already have the files, the .torrent file, but a fresh instance of qbittorrent? It should be possible without having to redownload any part of the files, right?

>>101114245
It does. FUCKING HELL. This is so confusing. I looked online and apparently the xhost changes are only temporary, for as long as the X server is running. Rebooting should remove it on its own.

I have also noticed that I am getting different $XAUTHORITY variables depending on how I log-in. In the graphical GNOME session it's indeed /run/user/1001/gdm/Xauthority. But for SSH sessions "xauth info" lists .Xauthority inside the home directory.

>>101114311
Deleting ~/.Xauthority might fix it

My Debian install has these weird audio stutters every 4 or so minutes whenever I'm playing a video/audio, and I'm out of ideas already, just can't get this shit fixed or find any clues on the internet on how to fix it. Tried a newer kernel, switched to pipewire (both stable 0.3 and now 1.0 from backports), tried changing pipewire's quantum bit delay, but so far, no luck.

I now found out that my journalctl has those lines popping up whenever the stutter happens, but I couldn't find anything very conclusive, or how it could relate to my audio issues. Well, there was this one reddit thread, but the faggot deleted his messages of course.

The question is: why didn't my x2x work then? I don't know what I did in the meantime to fix this. Not even joking, I'm feeling dizzy now after all of this and trying to figure out what I did.

Is it possible for an adversary to make a USB device (or, for that matter, a CD or external hard drive or any other medium) that will immediately infect my system if I plug it in, even if I don't manually install or execute anything from the USB device?

If the answer is no: Then what if I open and explore the USB device, but still don't install or execute anything? Is the answer still no, or would it then be yes? And if the answer is yes: How?

As a separate but related question: Can an adversary create a malicious file such that if I (willingly) download that file from the internet, it will infect my system even if I do not manually execute or install that file (and I do not manually place it in any autorun/config folder)? If yes, how?

>>101115423
>even if I don't manually install or execute anything from the USB device
To be very pedantic, yes. It's pretty trivial to put together a device that pretends to be a keyboard and then opens up a terminal, runs a command to download an program, run it, clean it up and call it a day. In that case, it didn't install or execute _from_ the device, it came from elsewhere. So plugging in and exploring it can still be risky from that perspective. Mind you this is only one of several vectors of attack.

What about the latter scenario, of downloading a file from the internet but not installing/executing it?

>>101115760
It might be okay, but you had better do your research on making a sanitary, isolated environment for doing so. If you have some lingering malicious background process that's waiting for some specific file to be downloaded such that it can be auto-executed, you're fucked. Admittedly, this is not likely if there's a specific program you have in mind you want to check out. Sometimes it doesn't have to be an executable, but a malicious file that gets executed by a compromised version of some program. I think MPV or VLC had a vulnerability (from a dependency) that could execute arbitrary code embedded in a video file if you tried to play it. My point is that some programs can be very clever with how they infect.
It sounds to me like you should watch some vids and do some cybersecurity reading before doing any actual exploratory learning. Just take it slow and be very, very cautious.

>>101115693
Because they would still need external repos for blobs and firmware files with retarded licensing, so there's no point going source based for one package.

Maybe they should at least wait a bit before releasing updates as stable when there are so many bugs.

>>101120149
There's no such thing as bug free, that's a myth. GNOME isn't bug-free, nor is XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon, Budgie, etc.

Delaying the release for no reason is pointless. Yes, the scuff isn't great but it's serviceable, there are no obvious Krashes, it just needs a bit more polish which it's getting with all of the point releases.

You can always go back to Plasma 5 if you don't like it, but that's not bug-free either it's just had more time to shake the bugs out of it.

Except there was good reason, and they even came out and apologized for the insanely buggy "stable" release.
Clearly they should've done a better job testing. That's the problem. And that will probably never be fixed, they'll redo everything for Plasma 7 and we'll be doing this song and dance again in a few years.
Well, some of us won't.

>>101119279
Flatpaks run on both distros.
Software availability depends on the size of the repositories of the respective distros.
The commands are mostly the same, the differences are related to the package manager, i.e. pacman for Arch, or apt for Debian based distros. GNU / core utils will function the same.

>>101120286
It wasn't insanely buggy. There was an admittedly bad bug they missed which didn't affect everyone, only people with certain hardware.

I've personally not experienced any of those serious issues, it's been rock-solid for me even with the few rough edges. I have different hardware to some people though, for example I don't have any of the issues plaguing Nvidia users because I have a rock-solid all-AMD system.

There were some graphics resets early on, but you can't blame that on KDE, it was an AMD driver bug that they worked around.

Why is there no such thing as an interesting desktop environment? They're all just mac or windows clones...

Every desktop paradigm has been tried to death already. Pick one and you'll find something.

>>101119279
The difference between distros is the software repository, the package manager and the update cycle. Other differences are so minor that they usually aren't worth talking about.

So, yes, commands are the same. The software is the same, but you might run into a situation where your distribution has no package of that software in its repository, so you'd have to build from source or get a Flatpak. No, you can't run a .deb file on Arch unless you go deep into the weeds and swap the package manager.

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe they didn't find those bugs? When you get it out there to users and people start banging on it they find these little issues.

A huge crash is something obvious that everyone will notice and they'll fix, the more subtle things are harder to find.

As long as it's usable though it doesn't matter if there are minor bugs. At least KDE gets stuff out there, GNOME takes forever to do anything and has to ask a committee for an exception to ship features at the last minute.

>>101120941
I actually understand what Free Software means.
This isn't a paid product, it's not Windows or macOS. There's no big corpo behind it.
It costs you nothing to download the latest nightly KDE Neon and try it out and report any issues you encounter. Why don't you?

>>101120937
No, there's no way to do that.

If you don't like it, submit a bug report or volunteer.

It's Free Software, it belongs to everyone so it's your responsibility to work on it.

>>101120912
So they need more man power and I should volunteer, yet they waste what little they do have rewriting shit every major release, and implementing useless garbage like the floating panel and the new edit mode.
Is it perhaps not that they don't have enough people, but rather that their priorities are fucking retarded?
From my perspective, the KDE project has a huge management problem.

>>101120997
>It's Free Software, it belongs to everyone
You can't be serious.

>>101121034
You don't understand their priorities because you're not a developer. There were good reasons to port to Qt 6 (Wayland bugs got fixed by it, etc) and KF6.

As for management, there is none. This isn't a company, there's no boss constantly looking over your shoulder. Your total disregard for FOSS development is really showing.

>>101121335
Yes, KDE is a company, but that's mostly for safeguarding reasons. They employ relatively few developers outside of a few that work few Blue Systems and a few that are contracted by companies like Valve to work on very specific things.
This isn't Apple or Microsoft and it never will be. The vast majority of contributors work on whatever they want with little oversight from management or QA, etc.

Different apps are going to run into different issues because not all of them will be using Qt in the exact same way.

Please file those bug reports though. Nobody can fix them if they're not made aware that there's an issue.

>>101121837
Even the crash viewer is buggy. This is pathetic.

>>101122068
That's normal, the crash handler can be buggy sometimes because of the way it works by hooking things in Qt.

If Qt is really fucked then the crash handler might not work properly. You should report these issues to your distro so they can figure out if it's an issue with their Qt (distros often patch packages. The version of Qt on my Gentoo system is not the same as the version of Qt on your Fedora system) or an upstream issue.

>>101122129

Then why is it I only see KApps crashing and nothing else?

>>101122203
Comments are for the weak

>>101122207
Because normal Qt software doesn't even have a crash handler. They don't tell you when something crashes like KDE software does so you don't see it. It will still be logged in dmesg and coredumpctl though.

Also, like I said earlier different software exercises Qt differently. KDE has ran into many different Qt bugs that might never affect some other random Qt app. KDE does a lot of things differently to other Qt apps because of their KDE Frameworks. Sometimes they do custom stuff for their desktop and then run into Qt bugs nobody else has ever seen before. That's going to happen from time to time.

Lately I have been using these functions as a quick way to both number the lines of a file and print the first/last X lines of it with head/tail. Is there a one-command way to do this with sed or awk, and could it work with multiple files? Sed can number lines with '=', but the numbers appear on different lines to the source text, and have to be piped into another sed to format it like cat -n.

headn () 
{ 
    case "$#" in 
        1)
            local file="$1"
        ;;
        2)

    esac;

}

{ 
    case "$#" in

Maybe this is the wrong thread for this, but I am having issues with image.webp.enabled in about:config of palemoon. Even when enabled, captcha just says loading forever. Has anyone fixed a similar issue? It is mainly an issue affeting access to cloudfront for captcha in 4chan, so I am still enjoying palemoon, but it is a big annoyance. Currently on Debian Bookworm using XFCE. I read on the fourms of cloudfront that the issue has been identified since 2023, but they keep saying it was resolved and closing the requests. Maybe cloudfront and Palemoon just don't get along...

So now I'm looking for one without it so I don't have to suffer that shit again and have to be constantly force-shutting-down my better rig. Deuvan's alright for that, right?

Bad defaults, I advice against the whole "non-systemd" route, especially if you don't even have a specific init system in sight. (should've asked "give me a distro with Dinit" for example)
And oh, you aren't getting more functionality or anything, you get a crude system that mostly appeals to neckbeards and people in the embedded device business.

myself, just because on my system and requirements, if something takes longer than 20s to start or stop then it's probably not going to. the default is 90s (1m30s) which is overkill for me, my machine is both not that slow and the services i run are not that big
if a default doesn't suit you, don't hesitate to change it, defaults aren't for everyone, they're designed to be safe

gimp was good enough for me, i did use photoshop before, but not professionally
>>101126706
i've been using arch since 2012, did something happen recently? i haven't noticed anything

>>101126983
I made an effort to learn GIMP before I made the switch to Linux. I expected it to be a pain but I was surprised at how good it was. It was basically a drop in replacement for me as a long time photoshop user.

I've used Krita a bit as well, but nowhere near as much. It's very capable but I found it less intuitive for general purpose tasks. For art and painting though it's first class.

For general image processing imagemagick with some basic shell scripting can also be extremely useful.

maybe once a year something breaks and i go check the news and it's an easy fix, more rarely i have to google and find a forum post right at the top of the results and it's an easy fix.
All worth it not to constantly be fighting my OS (windows)

>>101127622
im on windows right now and i have used linux in the past but i end up going back because of familiarity

>>101127619
clipman should only lose history in a crash, not on clean quits

>>101127647
I used to go back and forth (VM, dual boot), took me a while to get comfortable. I had dabbled with Linux a lot, used it on my servers but still wasn't comfortable on Desktop until I did the manual arch install and felt i had good enough understand of the big pieces that I was comfortable tinkering, that knowledge transfers to other distros too.

>>101127576
>>101127600
I see, thanks. I tried GIMP with the photogimp thing and it works out for me, but the problem is the psd files. On some of them, I have text, is there a way to get the text imported as well or I just have to remake everything in a different format?

>>101127669
Well, I thought so, I even tested the logs, nothing odd was there.
I checked clipman cache file, and it was indeed empty.
I don't know really what happened.
I guess off crashed when powering off.

>>101127723
having existing proprietary documents is always a pain when switching software, i haven't used photoshop since like 2009 and i generally didn't do the kind of work that warrants keeping .psd's around, i barely even have any gimp .xcf's around

How to update all packages installed by pip??

>>101127743
it's not unheard of to end up with truncated (empty) files if they were being written during a crash on some filesystems
some programs mitigate this by always writing to a new file then replacing the original rather than directly overwriting the original when saving, but for a more general solution you should look into snapshots

>>101127777
It's nothing important, in fact you could think of it as security feature.

>>101127799
i doubt they put any effort into safely writing to it, i mean it's just a clipboard cache, you shouldn't be relying on it

Is there a good alternative to Peace for eqing Headphones/IEMs?

>>101127849
i use calf studio tools myself, but it's probably overkill, i think more people use pulseeffects, that wasn't around when i started using calf so i haven't bothered comparing them

Chat gpt really makes Arch installation easy, so much more concise than wiki, it becomes literally copy-paste.

Not much, why?

>>101128027
>0 counter arguments
I accepted yours couple of posts ago :)

>>101128048
because im ram limited

>>101128075
How limited? What do you want to run? The overhead is probably not significant if you're worried whether a Windows program will run and you're previously used it on Windows on the same machine. Just make sure you have a decent amount of swap available.

>>101124025
I ended up figuring out my issue after several hours. The dump I downloaded needed to have a line edited, or else cemu 2.0 and above can' detect it. So it wasn't so much an issue with cemu as it was with the files I downloaded.

>>101128060
You would first need to produce an argument so I may counter it.

Any specific laptops you could recommend that have no hardware issues with linux? Preferably one that has a massive touchpad a la macbooks.
Intend to use it as desktop replacement.

A majority of laptops built by Dell, Lenovo and HP.

anyone else impatiently waiting for the first Linux to run on Snapdragen X?

>>101128434
No. Arm is locked down garbage.

>>101126335
considering I reached line speeds piping the file through SSH, afaik the encryption should be the same there as with SFTP so I expect it to be some sort of a problem with SFTP. the speed is good enough for now though, just barely streams BD remuxes from my home when I'm away.

>>101127201
I guess... still terrified that I won't know something and I'll get stuck or brick my system and get discouraged... i don't wanna deal with snaps and kubuntus bullshit but if I can't get Arch to work it's gonna be Fedora... ew...
>>101127081
You sound like you use gnome.

>>101128111
im just trying to play games

>>101128502
it might be fuse itself creating the overhead then if it's not ssh encryption

>>101128434
At the event where they showed off those laptops there were some people showing off that you can run linux on them. I am quite exited for it, because my main issue with linux on laptops has been the battery life. It's not horrible, but it's still worse than windows and way worse than macs.

>>101128547
https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/issues/300
might have something to do with this, considering the issue manifests itself only when connecting to the NAS/network over 4G. trying directly locally there's barely any difference in speed between SSHFS and just piping the file over SSH.

>>101128514
>You sound like you use gnome.
KDE on Wayland actually. I prefer XFCE, but it won't support Wayland for another 40 years.

Me too, I wonder if we can expect them to power some external displays. Via Thunderbolt or whatever.

>>101128514
if you installed arch yourself this is linked at the end of the installation guide
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations
i used that to get arch working with kde plasma the first time i installed
i installed everything i needed during the chroot and managed to get it to work
you will have to read if you want to get into arch, it is a DIY distro after all, but its not that hard

>boot
>network doesn't work
>run `sudo modprobe r8169`
>network works

wtf is happening and how do I make it permanent?

>>101128635
look for errors and warnings in dmesg

in winblows i created a folder in my C drive called "shit" and i dumped random executables in there like ffmpeg and youtube-dl and added that folder to path so i could use them in the terminal.

do you guys do something similar with linux? where should i put the shit folder.

>>101128803
~/bin or ~/.local/bin if you don't want to see it

>>101128803
you can just make a bin/ directory wherever (probably under home) and add that to path, sure.

>>101128803
everything installed with the package manager is on the path
there is also folders on your home directory that are on the path as someone already pointed out like .local/bin

>>101128878
>there is also folders on your home directory that are on the path as someone already pointed out like .local/bin
Not on every distro. I had to manually add that on Arch, for example.

>>101128583
you can do what that guy says and try rclone instead or you can try setting up smb/nfs instead and see if it's faster
you can also just have a webserver point to the directory with all your stuff and open the url with mpv that way

>>101128840
why not /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

>>101129434
- more difficult to backup
- privileges needed to put them there
- the system package manager might overwrite it

If you need it to be available to all users then consider using the system dirs

>>101129494
My Arch does not have ~/bin or ~/.local/bin in its path by default, but I just read and it does document that. That sounds better, I'm using that.

>>101129494
>the system package manager might overwrite it
/usr/local/share/bin

>>101128112
Nice to see you figured things out, anon!

>>101129578
>/usr/local/share/bin
that's not a directory
it's usually /usr/local/bin

>>101129721
I know the Arch wiki recommend to install fonts into /usr/local/share/fonts so that they don't get overwritten by your package manager, I'm just applying the same logic here
if it doesn't exist you can sudo mkdir it and copy files into the folder and add it to your path, should work fine

It sits frozen and I have to crash the faptop to get out of it.

>>101130054
kernel null pointer dereference, almost always indicates a software bug. Is your kernel up to date? Can you try another one?

>>101130104
To update kernel I type sudo pacman -Syu? Also worried about the crashing part, how would i know if i corrupted something? rip

guys I need a sanity check:
is audio supposed to get muted when the monitor goes to sleep? idk if I've just never noticed this or if this is new, but all sound (browser, mpv, mpd) gets muted for me when my screen goes to sleep or if I turn it off manually. I use pipewire btw.

>>101130152
>To update kernel
Yep that will update everything including the kernel. This error is like a windows blue screen of death, bad things have occurred and it's probably software but it could be hardware. If it only happens when you shutdown that's somewhat encouraging although I'd still be nervous. If you mean that you're holding the power button or something to hard cycle it then I don't think you need to worry too much as the system is already frozen at that point - although this can be rough on your hardware if you do it a lot.

Is gpt retarded or is this a valid way to auto update? Should I even be auto updating? Trying to be security conscious.

Get pacman-contrib

Nano into /etc/pacman.d/hooks/99-auto-update.hook

to add:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = *

[Action]
Description = Automatically updating installed packages
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/pacman -Syu --noconfirm

where should my user program store its logs?
it's meant to be a CLI tool for users, and using /var/ seems a bit heavy, but maybe i'm being dumb.

on kubuntu 24.04 wayland when my monitors go to sleep my primary monitor doesn't properly wake up unless i manually turn it off and back on. wonder if it's a proprietary nvidia driver issue.

$XDG_CACHE_HOME
usually ~/.cache but try to respect the env variable if you can

New thread:
>>101130777

>>101130261
that hook is something only an AI would write
i don't think it would even actually work, since pacman has a lock file to prevent you running two instances of pacman at a time, and that hook runs pacman while using pacman

>>101127752

python3 -m pip list installed --format json | jq -r ".[] | .name + \">=\" + .version" | xargs -r -I{} python3 -m pip install --upgrade {}

You probably don't want to do that though and should upgrade individually packages for the stuff you care about.

>>101130514
/var/log is fine if it's a system tool and you know permissions and ownership will be set up correctly for you to write to it.

Use ~/.cache like >>101130595 said if you can't guarantee this.

Before actually taking picrel into use: is Armbian the way to go? I'd rather have a rolling release on those things as reinstalls are annoying.
Only need the basic wireless tools, hostapd, nftables and what have you.

>>101131242
You don't really have much choice for a rolling release for ARM systems.

Archlinux ARM is slow with updates nowadays.
Maybe OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has something for ARM?

>>101131271
>>101131242
You could also Gentoo it. They have binary packages for ARM64. It might be a bit slow though, you'd probably be better off building a custom image for it.

>Tumbleweed has something for ARM
Yes. Only if they provided a root filesystem tarball. Idea being using the old kernel and stuff.

>>101131418
There's a few ways you can actually
Distcc would be the most commonly known way

>>101131418
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cross_build_environment
?

>>101131173
Why?
What about https://pypi.org/project/pipupgrade/

>>101131872
pip packages are usually dependencies for other software and should be managed that software. If you are using pip packages directly you shouldn't assume that they will have a stable interface, that is they may change significantly between versions.

>>101131988
I see, so it's better to make a custom script that update certain pip packages, ones that work on it's own, like tomato-timer, pimg, etc.
